'Amy' News: Amy Winehouse's Biopic Won Best Documentary at the European Film Awards; Her Father Displeased with the Output

Amy Winehouse's documentary entitled "Amy" which was directed by Asif Kapadia won "Best Documentary" for the European Film Awards. As per BBC, the controversial documentary pleased numerous spectators.

Her documentary may have won an award, but her father, Mitch Winehouse, was not pleased with the output of the film. As per NME, Winehouse told Bang Showbiz that he would want to make his own version of the documentary stating: "We hope to start work fairly shortly on it. But it's going to be more than just a film."

"All of the people who weren't in the film are hopping mad. They want their voices to be heard. We don't want to be like Asif, we'll let people say what they want, but we don't want it to be negative. We meet at least every month: Amy's dearest friends, Reg, and me, and we sit there, and the stories that we tell are brilliant. People don't realize everybody's got 100 stories about Amy, and that's the kind of thing that we're going to try and do."

In addition to what he said, Winehouse told Bang Showbiz that he wanted to reveal Amy's personality. He then added that does not only want to focus on Amy's musical career as she is driven with various talents. Her father would also want to focus on her positive side and would only want to focus in revealing on how beautiful she is as a person.

"Amy created a range of dresses for Fred Perry, she created six seasons, I don't know how she managed to do it but she did and they're still selling, they're selling very well, and people don't really know that kind of side of her, that creative side. There's more to Amy than just the singing and everything else. We are looking to do something positive. There are so many great things in Amy's life that were missed in that film. It was a great opportunity that Asif Kapadia had and he didn't grab it, let's hear something new about Amy."
